To a/ZZ whom zit maf/y concern: v

' Be it known that I, GEORGE P. FENNER, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at New London, in the county of New London vand 5 State of Connecticut,`have invented new and useful' Improvements in Printing-Presses, of which the following is a specification'.`

By means of this invention the parts'of a :printing-press aremadereadily accessible, as for repairing, cleaning, or for other purposes; I land the invention resides in the novel features of construction set'forth in the following speci- Jication and claims, and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure vl isa side elevation of a printingpress; Fig. 2 isfa planzview of Fig. 1.

Fig. 10 is a sectional vsideelevation of the delivery mechanism, looking fromtheside opposite to that shown` in Fig. 7, the tape-carriage being at the impression-cylinder; and Fig. 11-is asimirlar view showing the tape-.carriage moved'r run away from the impression-cylinder.'
